The mammalian hippocampal formation contains several distinct populations of neurons
involved in representing self-position and orientation. These neurons, which include place …

Episodic memory allows us to mentally travel through time. How does the brain convert a
simple reminder cue into a full-blown memory of past events and experiences? In this …

Humans can navigate flexibly to meet their goals. Here, we asked how the neural
representation of allocentric space is distorted by goal-directed behavior. Participants …

Visual short-term memory (VSTM) enables humans to form a stable and coherent
representation of the external world. However, the nature and temporal dynamics of the …

Although memory has long been recognized as a generative process, neural research of
memory in recent decades has been predominantly influenced by Tulving's “mental time …

Electrophysiological studies in rodents show that active navigation enhances hippocampal
theta oscillations (4–12 Hz), providing a temporal framework for stimulus-related neural …

Associative memory enables the encoding and retrieval of relations between different
stimuli. To better understand its neural basis, we investigated whether associative memory …

Spatial navigation and memory rely on neural systems that encode places, distances, and
directions in relation to the external world or relative to the navigating organism. Place, grid …

Memory reactivations and replay, widely reported in the hippocampus and cortex across
species, have been implicated in memory consolidation, planning, and spatial and skill …

Simultaneous localization and map** (SLAM) represents a fundamental problem for
autonomous embodied systems, for which the hippocampal/entorhinal system (H/ES) has …
